Public debt, structural adjustment and intergenerational justice
Public debt has become a structural characteristic of almost all contemporary economies. It concerns both the large powers able to borrow in their own currency and the developing countries essentially dependent on external financing in a currency they do not control. Understanding debt therefore requires getting out of a binary debate — « debt is good » against « debt is gross » — to enter into a more demanding analysis of its composition, cost and beneficiaries.
